Mobility

Since Mobile Advertisement is executed on the mobile itself, an interaction is always just a touch away.

Brand visibility on the mobile platform is already a must if optimum growth is desired. It will soon become indispensable even as the mobility factor increases its dominance in all forms of communication.

Brands are Opting for Maximum Visibility across Different Advertising Platforms

The world of Advertising is going through an interesting phase where the traditional mediums and the modern mediums of Brand Promotion are competing for the attention of the brands. To the delight of the traditional media, brands continue to derive benefits from them as much as from the modern media. This strange phenomenon, where brands are opting for a mix of all the leading media, underlines a strategy to utilize the benefits of maximum visibility across all the mediums.

This is especially true for brands where the target groups are audiences of traditional media. Before proceeding further, it would be good to differentiate between the traditional and the modern Advertising Media. Media that uses no or minimum modern technology, and have been present from the times when web 2.0 was yet to happen, are categorized as traditional media. These include Outdoor Advertising, Print Advertising, Radio & TV Advertising, etc. The modern media of advertising include the platforms of Online and Mobile Advertising. It may also include unusual techniques like Advertising on apparel, via juxtaposition, etc. It has been observed that as brands look to expand, they also have to expand their range of Advertising landscapes. Let us, for the sake of simplicity, take a brand with operations in the USA. The traditional media, as discussed above can be used to cater to the need of promoting before the local target groups. But if the brand plans to expand its operations to other countries like India, it will have to make use of the modern media like Online Marketing. The brand will use the traditional media in India too, but the modern platforms are indispensable for announcing changes immediately or to form bases in the other countries as well.

The opting of brands for maximum visibility is a departure from their traditional branding aims and strategies. The simple thought, driving the departure, is that no potential target group or geographical area is to be left untouched. Brands use the Modern Advertising Media for extended visibility at low prices while they impress their specific target groups with the Traditional Advertising Media.
